Do you remember when...

Do you remember when every synth took 5-8 ingredients and one of them was always made by another DoH 20 ranks higher than your current rank

Remember when Dalamud was hard to find?

Remember when we had no Item sort?

remember onion cut

also remember when getting a big patch meant mini map fixes

Damn, i miss those days!!


Actually, i don't lol.
But it feels good to be a part of it!! I've been playing since Alpha.
Still have some SS lol.

Or when synthesizing arrows gave you 33 instead of 333?

Or when doing local crafting leves, upon completion you were always put back at the first synthesis menu and had to go back to Requested Items, scroll to the proper leve and go through all the confirmation windows to start the next attempt?

Do you remember when people played the game?

For real though, do you remember when leve linking gave awesome exp?

lol I love how we are all filthy rich. Money is NOT an issue in XIV unlike XI. They should fix this.

I hated that. It still happens (mob runs away -> summons 2-3 more mobs), but it ain't as bad.

Remember when you couldn't complete "The Wights' Stuff" @ Horizon?
Remember when you couldn't complete a behest alone because that last mob group was quite overpowered?

Remember when certain monsters would run away and then regen halve their health before you had a chance to attack attack them again?

Oh, god. I had forgotten all about this. Now I have a sour taste in my mouth. Thanks.

Remember when Tanaka was the producer for FFXIV...?

There are new players and returning players who would beg to differ. If they added something like dynamis so everyone rich or poor can participate, but only the rich who sponsor the events can get the l33t loot (nothing too fancy, but good enough for bragging rights) that would help fix the problem.

No kidding. I just did a level 10 leve in Emerald Moss where the remaining mole and the 3 newly popped moles all aggroed, and I trained them all the way back to the Aetherite, and I died there they just stayed there .

This was never fixed. It's just that higher-level leves don't have that nonsense so most people no longer notice it.

Do you remember when we'd all sit around the campfire, sacrificing all the lalafell, talking about how one day we'd be look back on them days in a "Do you remember..." thread?

No?
.
.
.
.
.
Oh, wait...

Do you remember the level 50 - 60 Sandskin peiste that would spawn right outside the gate of Nald and eat noobs?

Do you remember when Aetheryte gates like Sorel Haven had no mobs?

Do you remember when level 10 crafters had to turn in leves at camps like Bald Knoll and Crimson Bark?

Do you remember running somewhere youve already been takes your whole playing session?

Do you remember playing the Beta and thinking what was there was so limited just because it was a Beta?

Yes, and it wasn't pretty. I used to plan my entire playtime for the day around searching he wards for good deals, searching retainer by retainer, hitting every floor.

Do you remember when you played on the first few weeks of release when content was lacking and things were missing but you knew they must have a ton of stuff they didnt have time to add but was almost ready like ishgard... but they didnt and it never came.

BACK IN MY DAY YOU WERE SITTING AT YOUR PC FOR EIGHT HOURS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THE BETA CLIENT.

Back in my day you were sat camping the login screen for the whole alpha test because of the login queues, then you get in for 5 mins, and disconnect.

And I loved the peiste outside Ul'dah, we should petition to bring it back for 2.0, as punishment for leaving.

anyone remember the ogre near Horizon?

Do you remember when we have a Physical Level and have stats to assign?

Do you remember that we have a reset button on the stats window but only let you reset part of what you have spend every 15 min so to change classes you have to wait hours until you can re assign all your stats?

Do you remember when Eft EXP parties were all the rage?

Do you remember fatigued EXP?

Do you remember when you had to be next to someone to add them to your friend's list?

Do you remember when party members didn't appear on the map?

do you remember when the minimap didn't clearly show what direction you were facing? yeah, 99% of the time I ran the wrong way from the camp to start my leves.

when tanaka thought if he made al the mobs 20 times bigger people might stop quitting the game.

Ugh, yes. Word on the street was that we were only seeing 10% of the game . . . lol.

when you disconnected, it took 10+ minutes to get back in?

when coblyns and nannygoats would stare into your soul as you fought?

when Bazaars actually had items you would buy?

when the conjury healing alliance players were suspended?


when you went to that Final Fantasy XIV website and wondered the details of the armoury system?

when there were no official Final Fantasy XIV forums?

when Fernehawles's posts showed up in the Dev Tracker?

when Belgianrofl existed?

when we couldn't Like a post?

Remember THM?

I miss pre-1.18 THM ; ;

Those were the days lol (I hope it's okay to post this)

...'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lostalong the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

How about no inventory sort function. I remember manually exchanging items one at a time with my retainer for 30 mins + just to get stuff in the desired order.

I remember walking through the shroud and contantly timing out.

I remember having EPIC 20 min battles...with marmots who regen'd their hp.

I remember the boat to limsa looping over five times to make the trip longer.

I remember antlings just one shotting me walking from ul'dah to drybone.

I also remember the pieste...just...eating fools who tried to leave nald's gate.

I remember an iron longsword costing like 3 mil.

I remember rank 35-40 leves giving just...rediculous money.

I remember the maple longbow needing rank 8 wood, but rank 40-45 bowstring.
